Used on buildings, monuments, sculptures and headstones, D/2 safely removes stains from mould, algae, including stubborn red algae, mildew, lichens and air pollutants. Developed by conservators, D/2 has helped keep prestigious properties such as The White House and The Alamo pristine.

Area of Use
D/2 Biological Solution is effective and safe for a wide range of masonry and architectural surfaces, including render, coloured render, concrete, brick, cast stone, aluminium, vinyl sliding, canvas and wood.

D/2 is also safe to use on natural stone, including marble, granite, limestone, sandstone, slate, brownstone, travertine and terra cotta.

While D/2 is safer to use in areas with plants, in the event of excessive exposure, rinse all plants and water in all planted ground areas.

Application
No special handling or on-site mixing is required. There are two standard methods of application. For best results, use D/2 undiluted and when air and surface temperatures are 5°C or above. Coverage based on medium deposits of 27m2 per gallon.

Immediate Result Method
Apply D/2 with a brush, roller, hand pump sprayer or low-pressure power sprayer.
Allow undiluted D/2 to remain on the surface for 10-15 minutes.
Apply additional D/2 as necessary to keep the surface wet.
Scrub with a soft nylon or natural bristle brush, do not use a metal brush.
Mist lightly with water and continue scrubbing the area.
Rinse thoroughly with clean potable water.
Reapply if rain occurs within 12 hours of application.
A contact time of 10 to 15 minutes followed by scrubbing with a soft brush will loosen most biological and air pollutant staining. D/2 works with the elements, so results may continue to develop over the course of 2-3 days.

No Scrub/No Rinse Method
Using a sprayer (pump-up, low pressure or other), wet the entire surface with D/2.
Allow the solution to air dry.
D/2 works with the elements, with results occurring within one week to one month, depending on the severity of the soil. Reapply if rain occurs within 12 hours of application.
